VIOLA —The Viola is not as well known in 
America as it should be. Very few other 
plants have as long a flowering period. 
They succeed best in a deep, well-en¬ 
riched, well-drained soil, but with plenty 
of water during the hot summer. They 
seem to prefer a light shade during the 
hottest part of mid-summer days. Do not 
allow to go to seed, and in Sept, cut 
back all straggling growth, to allow 
plants to make new tufts. This applies 
to the cornuta type in particular. The 
following are varieties and forms of 
Viola cornuta and bedding Violas. The 
specie Violas, both native and foreign, 
are listed separately. 
Climax —Sold out so close last season we 
could not list it in 1937. The finest lav¬ 
ender Viola we have seen. Medium size 
flowers, shaped something like V. Jersey 
Gem, on long stems, in profusion through¬ 
out the summer. One of our own intro¬ 
ductions. 35c each.
